What's the Holy Grail of rare parts?

What are people's ideas of the rarest and most difficult parts to find? The parts that you should know about so if you ever have a chance to snatch one up you can?

 

ARDUN heads for a flathead !! IMHO

 

those muffler bearings are next to impossible to get up north.

 

a real steel 32 ford for a working class type income.

 

i'm not sayin cause it might cause the price to go up.

 

Yeah, Brother

 

An Edelbrock P600 3x2 intake for a '57 - '66 318 Poly. Hell, strike that - the Edelbrock valve covers for that same engine are rarer than that!

So I'd have to go for the Edelbrock 318 Poly finned aluminum valve covers. Like gold, I tells ya - LIKE GOLD!!!!

'53-'54 Corvette exhaust manifold, for us "inline" guys!

 

Kinmont brakes, Merc accessory steering wheel.

 

Hennway...

 

Hyundai fender skirts

 

Geez Jason , the P600's arent that hard, between the old man and I we have 4 of em all for motors too and we live in Australia. and he does have a set of those edelbrock valve covers too! but you know that!

 

Whats a Hen Weigh???

 

The absolutely rarest of parts are probably almost worthless except for conversation pieces. they would be the one off stuff that early innovators brewed up in the garage. Rare and valuable aren't always the same.

Of usable pieces, the above mentioned is a good place to start. Magnesium adjustable early Olds rockers are pretty hard to come by. Should'a kept mine I guess.

 

I'm going to second the Ardun heads

 

An affordable, Edmonds dual carb intake manifold for Caddy Flathead.

 

Apperently 26 or 27 t roadster doors and D-lid in 1/2way saveable shape at a realistic price

more than hen's teeth...

 

Yes, Kinmount Brakes

And the Henry Ford Aluminum flatheads

 

Time, followed closely by money.

 

Original flathead Edelbrock Slingshot manifold.

 

Ardun heads, a complete SCoT blower set up for a flathead... Hmmm, this is starting to sound like a christmas wish list

Flatman

 

Can't be that Rare

I don't believe there is such a thing.

 

Running board mats for a 1935 Chevy Standard

If its "of legal age" I think we have a winner.

 

I like em all...Latham supercharges, Turbonique units, Oberhausens, Scott injectors,meteor Injectors, Lincoln speed parts, and 8 duece setups but the rarest parts seem to be ones I need, can use, can afford, and actually work. I've always found great parts that I can't use, don't need, can't afford, or don't work.

 

50 ford Crestliner steering wheels and horn ring,Picked one up and asked the guy what he wanted for it $1,300 and it was a turd.dropped it back on the table .But a nice one is sweet but no way near that

 

Like they said,kinmont brakes the first disk brakes ran at indy in 1939,my freind has a full set and he wants $15000 k what a joke
